losartan and Retinal Diseases

losartan has been researched along with Retinal Diseases in 2 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Retinal Diseases: Diseases involving the RETINA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To study if the endogenous renin-angiotensin system affects diabetic retinal leukostasis, rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were treated with an ACE inhibitor (ramipril), an angiotensin II AT(1) receptor antagonist (losartan) and the Ca channel blocker, (nifedipine)."7.73Role of angiotensin II in retinal leukostasis in the diabetic rat. ( Chen, P; Dahl, D; Edwards, PA; Fenstermacher, JD; Guo, M; Scicli, AG; Scicli, GM, 2006)
"We studied whether angiotensin II (ANG II) via superoxide may contribute to retinal leukostasis and thus to the pathogenesis of retinopathies."3.74Role of NADPH oxidase and ANG II in diabetes-induced retinal leukostasis. ( Chen, P; Edwards, PA; Guo, AM; Scicli, AG; Trick, G, 2007)
